Salamaat! Learning Arabic with Ease is a new language learning series designed to open your world to the beautiful Arabic language. "Salamaat!" means "Greetings, I hope you are well!" and is the first word used in every situation where Arabic is spoken.

The first step is to become comfortable with the Arabic alphabet and the sounds of the language. Author Dr. Hezi Brosh has developed a highly successful, simplified teaching method that has helped thousands of English speakers to speak Arabic, read Arabic, write Arabic and understand Arabic within a short period of time.

His method teaches a number of basic building blocks that are proven to work well in promoting fluency. The most important goal in learning a language is to communicate effectively—learning the basic sentence structures and vocabulary that you actually need and will use on a daily basis. Salamaat! Learning Arabic with Ease guides you in acquiring the important grammar and phrases, so you can begin to use Arabic to carry out basic tasks from greetings to daily routines.

Here are some of the book's key features:
